Given the fact that violent attacks on top Japanese politicians are rare in Japan, but there was, for example, another assassination attempt on a Prime Minister in Japan.
In 1960, then Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi was assailed and stabbed several times with a knife. He survived. He also was the maternal grandfather of Shinzo Abe.
According to the Japan Times (see below), there were actually at least a dozen or more severe attacks on Japanese politicians since 1900. In 2007, the mayor of Nagasaki was shot by a "senior member of a crime organization". Thus, you wonder why the security detail of current and former politicians are apparently incapable of preventing a direct close proximity assassination attempt.
